Intro to Musical Theatre Jr. (Elementary)
Have you ever wanted to be in the limelight? Take a step onto the stage? Find out what all goes into producing a play? Join us for Intro to Musical Theatre Jr. Camp and come alive! We will be exploring character development, costuming, makeup, singing and learning choreography as we prepare to perform a musical. We’ll wrap up the week with a performance showcase for family and friends. It’s time to take the stage and come alive!
Students will memorize a 45-minute show to perform in a week’s worth of rehearsals. Digital scripts and music tracks will be emailed two weeks before camp, and physical scripts will be given out on Monday after auditions.
Supply List
After the first day of auditions, actors will be made aware of simple clothing items that may be brought from home to assist with costuming.
